As a pillar in the McLean community,
she was an avid volunteer, active with the Mt. Hope
Twp. Community Hall and the museum. She had an
amazing giving heart, never knew a stranger, and
greeted those in need with wide open arms. With an
eye for design and a determination to put it to use,
she loved planning events like weddings and
community events – everything to create special
memories for all to cherish. Her love, laughter and
presence will be greatly missed by many.
